Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Wifi Issues

Hello guys. Before everything I want to apologise if there's a thread similar to this one (I tried searching but I couldn't find any like mine). The problem is that after my phone is idle for ~1 hour the WiFi drops and if I'm on a WhatsApp call the call just stops. WiFi comes back immediately after I unlock the phone and it's really annoying. Keep WiFi on during sleep in the WiFi settings is Always (Increases battery consumption) but after ~1 hour of idle it stops again. I tried forgetting the network but it didn't work. Factory Reset didn't help either. What I noticed (tested few times) is that when the phone is charging the WiFi stays on and the calls don't drop. Is there any way to fix that? I could leave the phone charging over night but then again there are different opinions if the battery life decreases. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 and there are no such problems with it. From what I heard there are quite a lot connectivity issues with Marshmallow. Is there a fix for that one particularly? Thank you in advance.
 
Try to set in phone static IP for WIFI connection. Settings> WIFI > go on network you are connected to. Keep the finger on your network until Manage Network Settings appear. Than change under IP settings from DHCP to static. Also change DNS 1 in 8.8.8.8 and DNS 2 in 8.8.4.4

I see u try to forget network, u should try also reset network settings.
